To busy partying with rappers, campaigning and going on TV. They sure tried to spin it on the video that very few have seen. Shows us the incompetence of this man that has led us into TRILLIONS of dollars in debt, wasted money on Solyndra and other green projects, 43 mos. of unemployment, 23 million Americans out of work, household incomes fell $4,000. Now the CBO has said the new tax bill will hit 6 MILLION middle class citizens 50% higher than reported. This will effect people making under $200,000 that Obama said that would NOT be affected. CBO said that nearly 80% of those facing the penalty would be making up to or less that five times the Federal poverty level. Currently that would work out to $55,850 or less for a individual and $115,250 or less for a family. Penalty about $1200. "Bad news and broken promises from Obamacare keeps piling up" said one Senator. If the Bush tax expires it will be worse for the people he said. VOTE THIS INCOMPETENT OUT!!!!!!!To bad Obama ignored the 3 day warning, guess he does not have the good sense to realize that 9/11 Anverisary can bring havoc on the U.S. or anywhere our soldiers or goverment workers are.

At the beginning of the video Jay Carney called reports that Benghazi had been a planned attack "false"- after five minutes of explaining that the reason behind the attack was a video - he is faced with the fact that the administration itself is briefing congress on the fact that it was a planned attack. Caught in a bald faced lie!

Again with the straw men Lara. The point is that you would EXPECT to be on high alert on of all the 365 days of the year Sept 11th. It's not rocket science.
Tappper was doing his job because these politicians work to serve the american PEOPLE not the other way around and if there is any incompetence/ corruption they are to give an account because we the people are the boss not some party or guy you really, really, really like.
This is how the grown ups talk. They don't pander, they ask tough questions and if Pres Obama and his followers think it's too tough then he doesn't have to do it. Resign or be given your pink slip in Nov.Posted by: Lara | September 15, 2012, 10:06 am 10:06 am

LaraSat, 15 Sep 2012 14:06:59 +0000http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/?p=813682#comment-28539120"Sorry Jim are you saying the embassies (my previous questions) were all attacked on 9/11 or just these?"
No, our country was attacked on 9/11 on American soil , planes flew into large buildings in NY. You may have heard something about it and read Richard Clarke's book or at least heard that Clarke was sharply critical of the Bush administration's attitude toward counter-terrorism before the 9/11 terrorist attacks-- maybe if you think real hard, you will recall..
"To Jim and Lara were those embassies attacked on 9/11. This is NOT a Rep or Dem issue..."
No, its not a Republican or Democrat issue, as I said embassies were attacked under Obama, George W. Bush (12)and Reagan (7)-- it isn't a Republican or Democrat issue. Republicans pretend it is. See Romney's bluster... My point is a reality check to the partisans and the gotcha media of which Tapper is a part despite potential to be a real journalist.
"Tapper just loves to play the role of attack dog against the president"--- Yep.
So, honestly, was Petraeus wrong or is it possible that Romney is desperate and McCain is being a hot head and Lieberman and others are following his lead?“Sorry Jim are you saying the embassies (my previous questions) were all attacked on 9/11 or just these?”

Patrick MSat, 15 Sep 2012 05:41:15 +0000http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/?p=813682#comment-28536146These are fair questions ...
What did the State Department do to prepare? Why are Marines only being sent now, after the fact, to beef up security? Why was there no evacuation plan in place? Why, apparently, didn’t Obama attend any of his daily intel briefings this week with the anniversary of 9/11 bearing down? Why did his campaign move more quickly to condemn Romney for his statement than the White House did to condemn the mob activity in Cairo and Benghazi?
... what we are getting as answers is pretty close to a clown show. All the do is blame a movie, that is nothing more than a pretext for violence, and discounting the real stroy of the planned aspects of these attacks. The Obama adminstration has screwed up on multiple levels, and most of the adminstration behavior is 10)% about CYA and PR and 0% about doing what is best for American interests and honor.These are fair questions …

I think we're going to have to wait for Obama's appearance on David Letterman to find out this was really all Mitt Romney's fault after Obama has time consult with his Secretary of Rap, Jay-Z and the Secretary of Shake Beyonce.But what does Pimp With A Limp think?

So be it. But, this rush to judgment on the part of the righties is unseemly. First Romeny criticizes the president's handling of the killed diplomat before anyone knew what happened! The worst part is that he blustered about without showing any respect or compassion for the American's who were killed!The Middle East is a powder keg and it doesn't take much to set it off. To question a president's policies before there is a complete investigation is truly irresponsible. An Egyptian/American neighbor doesn't blame the president for these terrible protests; she said the protestors are poor and not well-educated and do not understand that the United States allows freedom from censorship; even from vile movies.Blah, blah, blah, blah.
